Think i found my next stang...

Just wondering what you guys think of this car. I have about 3700 bucks saved up that i was gonna use to build my motor over this winter but i just came across this car and was wondering if you guys thought it was a good deal. i know it needs some work but it will mostly be a strip driven car. only street driving will be the 30-40 mins it takes me to get to the strip. seem like a good deal or not guys?

I don't know...by the descrition, it doesn't sound like he babied it(burn out picture too) Being a 5 speed and now having a "tick" would lead me to think missing gears and over reving it.

If all you want is a track car, take a look at it, but I think I would get yours done first.

Thats what i was thinking. and it is a t-5 so i am surprised it is still alive behind that 351. i know it wasnt babied either but if it was mine.. and gonna be my strip car.. i probably wont be babying it either though... i'm just currious.. if he just noticed the ticking then maybe could be a blown header gasket or maybe the header bolts loosened up?

363ci motor, stage two tw heads, custom grind cam, etc. and only 30lb injectors and a T-5?:eek: Seems like the car might need some upgrading. It looks like a good deal but like posted above, I would have some extra cash aside for broken parts or future broken parts... track cars are fun but they cost tons of cash.

yeah, your right. i didnt see it only had 30lb injectors in it.. what would it need for injectors? 42's? bigger? and i saw it only had a 190lph fuel pump, would a 255lph be needed too?

This is sounding kind of fishy...


There is a hole in the trunk (approx. 1" diameter). I assume this was caused by a battery that leaked acid - the car now has an Optima battery

The car needs a new battery.
Aren't those batteries good for like 10 years?

There's absolutely no rust on the car except in the trunk
Hmm, I thought he said the hole was from battery acid?

I'd check it out and drive it hard, it seems kinda sketchy to me, seems like he beat the piss outta the car.

yeah, it's clean. but it is ugly as sin with that body kit. and i hait the teal paint. i liked the other one cause it had a clean body and a 351w already. it was just gonna be a weekend warrior at the strip for me. i think i am gonna stay away from it though. i'll just build my 86 up and have a street daily driver/weekend warrior.
